An Ocean on Pluto’s Moon
COS comes to America, soccer mania at Dazed, a Plutonian moon’s underground ocean and more in our weekly look at the web
According to a new NASA report, potential cracks on Pluto’s icy mega-moon Charon could indicate whether or not it once had a subterranean ocean. Pluto’s moons share the same frigid, uninhabitable environment as the planet. However, that might not have always been the case and with NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft slated for a visit there in 2015 (a first ever), scientists will be able to learn whether or not these chasms will actually reshape our thoughts on water.
